So nervous breakdown ensuing. I just got the letter from my insurance letting me know how much they were going to cover from my hospital stay. Fucking none of it, not a penny. It says I owe the hospital 39,011.47 fucking dollars. I mean what the fuck? Why the fuck am I paying for insurance if its not going to pay for anything when I need it too? I cant fucking afford that, like not in any way shape or form. This will put us in debt for like the next 10 years. I cannot fucking even right now.

Insurance suuuuucks but one...tactic...I've noticed them using is the reliance on people straight giving up versus fighting it. I know it seems ominous to fight an amorphous and large system but that number CAN come down. Also, many hospitals know that numbers like that are prohibitive and know they won't get that money and will work with you so they get something. Depending on your financial situation, they may be able to wipe a lot of it and put you on a low interest payment plan for the rest. Particularly if it is a religious based hospital--they usually have missions to not put people in the poor house for getting needed care. I'm sorry for the stress, fuck your insurance company right in the ear.

Yeah I called H and he is in his righteous fury mode, which is both amusing and a bit frightening, so between him and his mom Im feeling much better. I am so pissed though lol.

What origami said. When DD2 was born, they sent me the entire bill for her birth. Turns out they insurance didn't actually add her for her birthday. It was a mess and it was panic inducing. I hope you can get it figured out mischief. Healthcare in this country is a mindfuck.

I would call both the insurance and the hospital and see what the hell happened. I would also see if the hospital can give you payments or something. I really hope this resolved itself.

G got on the bus today with no problem going to school. Coming home was another story. The school social worker called me and said that she had an epic meltdown and tried to not get on the bus. I was really hoping she was over this. I did notice that it happened on Tuesday again. I don’t know what to do for her. I hope tomorrow is a better day. 😞

mischief, I really don't understand US healthcare, but that's an appalling amount of money. You must be so stressed. I hope you find a solution soon. marygracerich, how was your little lady today? I'm so impressed by her. My three-year-old goes to preschool three minutes' walk from home and sometimes she cries all the way there, because three. It must be so hard with a baby as well. Thinking of you all. I'm spiralling in grief and depression again. I must go and look for fluffy fanfic. That always helps.

Thinking of you all. She did great today! Thank you for asking. 😊. Besides being tired, we have no idea what triggered her meltdown yesterday. G is such a freakin trooper. She gets on that bus a 6:35, gets to school at 8, is there until 2 and gets dropped off around 2:50ish. It’s a long day and it’s 5 days a week. There is also no naps at school. Thankfully she handles it like a pro most of the time. The baby is also pretty chill and handles most things ok. She is currently relaxing and watching Super Monsters with her Dr kit. 🤷🏻♀️

purple I hope your reading gives you some joy today. It sucks when the days get difficult. I am glad that you, and the rest of us, have some fun and silly things that we can retreat to when things are tough.

I would do this too. Did they give a reason for not covering a single cent? Was it all coded correctly? That’s bullshit and I’m sorry.

May I come in and say hi? I’ve been gone a while. Basically since I had my third kid in August. She’s a joy but man the juggling the three of them is hard when they are all so young.

Today has been shit but Im drowning myself in fluff and happiness in the perfection of a Teen Wolf fic I found and a bottle of Fireball. The bright spot is we had DS's PT conference and his teacher says he is super smart, and hilarious, he just cant focus. We spent almost an hour just chatting and laughing and talking about how much she enjoyed him. She has been working with him and us to find out what works best for him. Like above and beyond. I ADORE her.
